    Solution

    All sentences have used the word correctly. CASCADE, as a noun, refers to a small waterfall, especially one of several that fall in stages down a steep rocky slope. Sentence I uses this word to describe a waterfall. In a figurative sense, CASCADE can refer to a series of events or actions occurring rapidly and in quick succession. Sentence II uses this word in the context of layoffs happening one after another. Therefore, E is the correct answer.
